Many thanks Frankies!!!
The report you quoted have at end a place. It is the airport where aircraft started? I think aircraft came from sout east Italy so the airport can be Celone, Manduria, Lecce, Lucera. The aircraft have 19 men on direct to Normandy. In the crash some men dies and some other dies in days after. Some survived. We are sure about the date stated on a book. Do you can find some other information? Thanks again!
